Little Fox Music Box is an interactive songbook for

young children, with three classic songs to enjoy.

The songs are accompanied by interactive char-

acters, on a visual canvas created by Oscar-nomi-

nated designer Heidi Wittlinger. These characters

do a select number of scenic monuments and

features. If you would prefer to hear your little

one practicing their rhythm and not their whine,

Little Fox Music Box is just the app you need!

Sesame Street has always been famous for teaching

children the alphabet. The cutest character from

the hit television show, Elmo, is here to help your

youngster learn their ABCs. This app makes learn-

ing the alphabet educational, interactive and lots

of fun to do. All the while Elmo is there to give your

child a helping hand and plenty of encouragement.

Princess Fairy Tale Maker helps to build a child’s

early perception of narrative and storytelling. Its

developer, Duck Duck Goose, have won more that

10 Parents’ Choice awards for their stellar work.

from; story creation and colouring in. From mysti-

cal unicorns to swashbuckling pirate ships, the

options are endless for both boys and girls. What-

ever they choose it is sure to be a great time!

This sequel from the trusted developers at Toca

begins with a tap on the bubble play button

before choosing a character to style. Once in

the chair the customer is at the mercy of your

child’s creative take on salon chic. From scissors

to curling irons, to straighteners, there are plenty

of tools to choose from. A range of accessories

are also available to increase the individuality

of the character. With another happy customer

Storylines

Scribblenauts

This creative app will have your kids laughing in

the back of the car as they work together to create

their own storyline. The game is perfect for groups

of children rather than just one or two, because of

its collaborative nature. The first player thinks of a

saying, then the second player draws a picture to

represent the saying. The other players, without

seeing the phrase, add a caption to the picture.

At the end everyone gets to see how the original

phrase was completely changed. Storylines is a

really fun app to play that gives your child the

opportunity to learn common phrases, write and

draw, and improve their collaborative social skills.

Scribblenauts is an adventure game starring

Maxwell. Our young hero is armed with adjectives

and nouns as he walks through an exciting world.

Children have to think of words in order to use

Maxwell’s many tools of survival. Your child will be

able to summon a dragon, call on a caveman and

resurrect vampires! The levels are accompanied by

really strong graphics by 5th Cell and Iron Galaxy

Studios. Those that are using an iPad or iPhone can

benefit from the voice recognition feature. There

is massive scope for creativity within the app and

the developers have clearly put a lot of effort into

making this game as good as it can be.

Mediocre Games have created one of those ‘just

one more try games‘. Granny Smith is trying to get

her apples back from a young boy on roller skates.

Everyone’s new favourite grandma is flying down

different hills with her skates on! As long as Granny

Smith is keeping up with the naughty apple-stealer

she is just fine. All of these escapades take place

in a number of different levels, including colourful

zoos, sludgy sewers and quirky office buildings.

Granny Smith is the classic fast-paced game that

holds a child’s attention for the entire journey.

Math Doodle is an award winning app that has

come up with a creative way of teaching children

mathematics. The app consists of three games that

all offer different ways of coming to terms with the

subject that many children struggle with. This non-

traditional approach comes in the form of creative

counting systems like Spanish tally marks, binary

and braille. Other games are offered as puzzles

and work your child’s brain in more ways than one.

This app is a fine example of how technology is

opening up new ways of learning for children.

Clueless Crossword

The Khan Academy

Price: Free

Age Range: 9–12

Age Range: 12+

www.khanacademy.org

Clueless Crossword Puzzle is an interesting take

on the classic crossword, with every square on

the board covered in numbers, rather than being

blank. In order to complete the board, players

must identify which letter represents the number

on the board. If the board reads 21-A-T, then your

child has to work out what the 21 represents. If

they choose C and they are correct then all of the

21s on the board will then change to Cs. There are

three game modes: Classic, Blitz and Mini. This app

introduces children to the premise of crosswords in

a simple and interesting way.

This app features a diverse selection of tutorials

for all ages. Expert instructors from a variety of

disciplines have contributed to the Khan Academy.

More that 3,000 videos are now available through

Khan Academy on subjects including history,

finance, business and chemistry. Sal Khan came

up with the concept in order to help his younger

cousin better understand his school subjects. His

Youtube tutorials caught on and today the Khan

Academy has grown into an educational network

that your child can benefit from. This app is perfect

for when your children are away from school and

need to stay updated with coursework. The Khan

Academy is an exceptional tool and is 100% free!
